5.0 out of 5 stars
A dramatic, politically aware story,
By A Customer
This review is from: La calle es libre (Paperback)
This book is unusually rich in story and in illustrations. Though picture book in format, it is for older children. In brief, it focuses on a shanty-town developing outside of a large South American city. The children have no place to play, except for the street ("La calle es libre" of the title...), and the street is not safe. They start a campaign to get a park, but need the intervention of the mothers of the community and of a journalist to get the local government's attention. Promises are then made, and a site designated, but no work happens. Again, the children kick off the process, and this time the entire community gets involved in making the park. This is a rich and believably complex story of people making a difference, further enhanced by wonderfully detailed illustrations, which alternate full-color and black-and-white from spread to spread.
